Sahelanthropus was created in 2002.
Sahelanthropus tchadensis is a species of extinct hominid that lived around 7 million years ago. The name is derived from "Sahel," referring to the region in Chad where the fossil was discovered, and "anthropus," meaning human-like.

Sahelanthropus tchadensis nicknamed Toumai. There is a link below for more information on Toumai.
Sahelanthropus tchadensis was found in Chad, which is in West Africa.
The earliest potential hominin is Sahelanthropus tchadensis, dated to around 7 million years ago.
He didn't , he had only incisors and premolars so we are talking about fructivores and herbivores species here.
Toumai, also known as Sahelanthropus tchadensis, is an extinct hominin species that lived approximately 7 million years ago in Chad, Africa. It is one of the oldest known hominins and offers important insights into human evolution. Toumai is characterized by a mixture of ape-like and human-like features.
The oldest known humanoid is often considered to be Sahelanthropus tchadensis, a species that lived approximately 7 million years ago. Discovered in Chad, Africa, its fossils exhibit both ape-like and human-like traits, suggesting it may represent an early stage in human evolution. However, the classification and significance of Sahelanthropus are still subjects of research and debate within the scientific community.
The first hominids are generally considered to belong to the genus "Sahelanthropus," with "Sahelanthropus tchadensis" being one of the oldest known species, dating back around 7 million years. Other early hominids include "Australopithecus," particularly "Australopithecus afarensis," which lived around 3 to 4 million years ago. These early hominids are key to understanding human evolution and the development of bipedalism.
The oldest known human-like ancestors are believed to be species within the genus Sahelanthropus, with Sahelanthropus tchadensis dating back about 7 million years. This species exhibits a mix of ape-like and human-like traits, suggesting it may be one of the earliest members of the human lineage. However, the exact timeline and classification of early hominins continue to be subjects of ongoing research and debate in paleoanthropology.
